Let' s hear it for local ownership!

Alrighty, I have just read that there may well be a referendum on local ownership of water in Lexington. (This of course if our fair, just, and ever-so-ethical friends at Kentucky American and Mike Scanlon can't wrangle a positive appeal from higher courts). If I may offer a few comments.

First, would someone in the p.r. department on my side (the local ownership side) please find some way to drop "condemnation" from the p.r. materials. Who in the world supports condemnation of anything, save satan and chicken pocks?

Second, would someone please volunteer your time to go door to door to explain to residents why local ownership makes sense and why it is not in a person's best interest to allow a multinational, profit driven corporation run your water supply? I will not be there for the battle unfortunately.

Third, if you live in Lexington, vote in support of local ownership.

I live in a community where, if there is a problem with water, local people have the ability to fix it. They simply take their tools to the problem, and repair the problem. It's amazing and effective. Just a thought.

Love,
Lefty
